WAITING ON A DOG.

Dear Angelina, tell me, pray,
In simple words and brief,
When LIES rough cares upon you weigh,
How do you find relief!
Ny dear Amanda, she replies,
When daily troubles clog,
find no other way SO wise
AS waiting on dog.
To visit homes where sufferers pine,
And help the humber poor,
With taste and culture such as niEe,
never could endure;
But when the weary hours draw nigh,
And move with heavy jog.
know no earthly joy 50 high,
AS waiting on dog.
To keep him blanketed and warm,
In tasteful, comely dress,
To hold him gently in my arms,
And share his sweet caress;
Owhen the burdens press me sore
And my poor mind befog,
No earthly good can sOothe me more
Than waiting on dog.
So. dear Amanda. cheer thee up!
And to my words give heed:
Go buy some small and winsome pup
OF choice and dainty breed;
Your higher faculties, fear,
May meet some dreadful snog,
Unless you learn from year to year
To wait upon q dog,
-Touth's Companion.

BUILDING ASSOCIATION.
REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
HELD AT THE SECRETARY'S
OFFICE FRIDAY EVENING
. JULY 20,
"A Good Showing.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Austin Building and Loan Association
was held Friday night and considerable
business done. Many applications for
loans We're received and q number of
loans made.
This Building and Loan Association is
one of the best institutions that was ever
started in Austin. The association was
only organized last January, and already
over 100 shares have been sold.
A great many have been assisted so far
this summer in putting up new buildings
and making for themselves homes, and
many more will be built before the
season isF over. The association is con-
stantly receiving applications for loans
and many of the fine dwellings being
built in Austin this summer through its
assistance, clearly demonstrates that it
is doing q good work in helping to build
good homes for many.
There is double benefit derived from
this Association. First, it helps the man
with small means to build house and
pay for itin monthly installments at less
than it would cost him for house rent.
In a very few years he has home of his
own, and has paid for it in such small
payments that it was far from oppres-
sive. :, ,S5
Think 81 it. You cannot rent any
thing in the shape of house for less
than $40 per month, and from that to $l5
and $50. With the assistance of this
Building association, you can build a
house have the use of it and pay for it at
about IS per month, less than it would
cost fer house, rent. To all those with
out a home, we say look up the Building
Association, and see what it can do for
This association has already done much
for. Austin, and as the people become
better acquainted with its workings, we
expect tossee it grow in popularity and
become one of the most valuable institu-
tions Of the city.
There is.no reason for complaint or
fault finding, but we would suggest that
every citizen who can take stock in the
Association. and help to make it the sue
cess it should be. There is lots of hard
work connected with an institution of
this kind, 2nd it is not fair that few
should bear the whole burden. Let all
put shoulder to the wheel and assist in
the good work. The association hold an
other meeting to night, when you may
apply forhght on this sub ject,s or call on
Lyman Bssrd, acting secretary, who will
explain the most minute points and give
you all the information you want. -,
